She wept, and was forgiven?

2When, bringing every balmy sweet

Her day of luxury stored,

She o'er her Saviour's hallowed feet

The precious ointment poured;

3Were not those sweets so freely shed,

That shame, those weeping eyes,

And the sunk heart which inly bled,

Heaven's noblest sacrifice?

4Thou that hast slept in error's sleep,
